This music & voices rings beautifully in my ears....

This anthem was specially commisioned for the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine "Kate" Middleton by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011 and was composed by John Rutter.

This is the day the Lord has made
By John Rutter

This is the day, the day which the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, the day which the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day

O praise the Lord of Heaven
Praise him in the highest,
Praise him all ye angels of his
Praise him all ye souls
Praise him sun and moon
Praise him all ye stars of light
Let them praise the name of the Lord

For he shall give his angels charge over thee
To keep thee in all thy ways
To keep thee in all thy ways
To keep thee in all thy ways
The Lord himself is my keeper
The Lord is my defense upon my right hand
So that the sun shall not hurt thee by day
Neither the moon by night

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil
Yeah, it is even he that shall keep thy soul
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
From this I know
From this I know
From this I know forever more

He shall defend thee
He shall defend thee
He shall defend thee under his wings
He shall defend thee
He shall defend thee
He shall defend thee under his wings
Be strong
And He shall comfort thine heart
Shall comfort thine heart
And who shall I trust?
I trust in the Lord
Whose power I trust in, the Lord,
In the Lord

The words consist of verses from Psalms 118:24; 148:1-3, 5a; 91:4a, 11; 121:5-8 and 27:16b.

This is one of the most beautiful music pieces I've ever heard - don't you agree?! Anyways, happy weekend people and enjoy it with a blast!
